    This place is so cute! I'll definitely be back as it gives, vibey work from home feels. You can grab a delicious glass of wine, a cup of coffee or an empanada all in one spot. When I went, it was in the afternoon, and I don't think they were expecting a rush, so service was slow. However, everyone was very nice and I really enjoyed this place overall.

    Birthday crowd!

    I recently celebrated my birthday at Botanic Beer Garden, one of my new favorite bars in the city! I couldn't have asked for a better place to host my party with a group of 30+, including a theme and folks dressed up in costumes. I'm really glad this place popped up within the last few months. Drinks are stellar, the bar menu is creative, and you can tell that lots of thought was put into creating each item. My favorites are the Pandan-lada, Blueberry Buzz, and Eternal Bloom. I don't know of any other place that makes a cocktail with pandan, so not only is this unique, it actually tastes really good. The pandan flavor is strong and subsequently, you can barely taste the alcohol in it. Similar story with the Blueberry Buzz: I don't care for gin, but the gin taste in this one is so subtle that you can barely taste it. And the Eternal Bloom is a good take on a tiki-style drink with rum and tropical flavors - can't go wrong here. In a way, these drinks are dangerous as you can barely taste the alcohol, so you will keep coming back for more. While they currently do not serve food, they are in the process of getting permit approval for an onsite food truck. They currently serve $1 tacos on Thursdays though, so do take advantage of this if you happen to be here for Thirsty Thursday. I can attest to the good quality of said tacos. Since they don't yet serve food, you are able to bring in any food of your choice; I am not sure if this will change once the food truck is up and running. They also have a full coffee bar, so if you need a pick-me-up to make it through the rest of the night or just a coffee-laden cocktail, you can get your caffeine fix here. Seating is plentiful, with several booths and tables inside and many picnic tables in their outdoor, fan-cooled patio with TV's. Inside they have a variety of board games you can play, and the patio features outdoor games like Jenga and cornhole too. The bar manager, Santi, is fantastic. On my first visit prior to the party, he gave me a full overview of the bar and his thought process on crafting the menu together. All of the syrups are made from scratch and natural ingredients are used in favor of artificial flavorings. They are also happy to customize and make drinks that aren't on the menu (like a carajillo - I may have had more than one of these across multiple visits). Santi is very pleasant to talk to and was great to work with in planning my event. He even brought in additional bartenders to help manage the crowd the night of the event. One of the bartenders, Elle, was also super cool and vibed with our group. As mentioned, this is a great place to host a gathering or party of any sort. Order at the bar. You can pay on one tab or have everyone pay separately on their own tabs (I know some places have an issue with this). I wholeheartedly recommend this place for happy hour, a night out with friends, or a celebration. We will definitely be back for all of the above, and will be bringing more friends with us too!

    Beef empanadas

    This awesome hidden gem was an amazing experience !! From their incredibly creative drink menu and friendly staff this place makes you feel at home! Beautifully decorated and spacious patio area and cool vibe inside!! Relaxed atmosphere for great conversations and great vibes!! Menu is slightly condensed but don't sleep on the empanadas!!! Both chicken and beef were delicious! Plantain chips, chicken sandwiches with fries- all was so yummy!! Hot and to order! The drinks is really where is all was at! Creative and simple but amazing!!! A must try!!!

    Happy hour menu

    This place is great. They have a good amount of tables and outdoor space (including outdoor games). They also have a great happy hour. The space itself is nice and has a great atmosphere. They have plants hanging from the ceiling as well as a faux plant wall. The bartenders were great. They were attentive and were happy to answer questions and were helpful when recommending drinks. Their Old Fashion was one of the best ones I've had yet. You could really taste the citrus. The Eternal Bloom was also good. It was refreshing and to me had a coconut taste to it. But my favorite was the Wildfire. Even though it had habanero it wasn't too spicy and had great flavors. We didn't see the food truck there the day we went. They currently don't have permits to serve beer on tab until sometime in August, but they did offer plenty of canned/bottled beer (they also sell buckets of beer). We'd definitely recommend this place and will be coming back!

    I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and I was really impressed with this place. It is located right off Houston Ave, close to Washington Ave. Prior to coming, I was slightly dreading coming into the Downtown/Heights area because parking is always atrocious in the area. I was pleasantly surprised when I rolled up and there was an almost empty lot with spots available. That's a big plus in this area. I drove around the block just to check out the area and I saw there is plenty of street parking available if their lot is full. The bar itself isn't large, but they have a nice sized patio or "garden" as they like to call it. They also have a space with turf for a little beer pong and corn hole action. Customer service was outstanding from the minute we walked in until we left. My friend reserved tables and the staff was so helpful. Though it's called a beer garden, I would classify this place as more of a cocktail lounge. They got the beers, but not a huge selection and if I remember correctly, they weren't on tap at the time we went. Their selection consists mostly of popular big brand beers with a few local brewery offerings. They have wine too which you can buy by the glass or bottle. It looked like a decent selection to me. Most of my crew partook in their impressive cocktail offerings. They have a fully stocked bar so you can get your favorites here, but they had quite a few of their own concoctions that really hit the spot. I told the bartender what I like and he suggested I go with the Blueberry Buzz. It was a gin drink with blueberry jam, lemon and honey. It had a silky mouth feel and was very refreshing on that hot summer day. It seemed to be a crowd favorite too. I then had to see if they did favorite drink, an old fashioned, right. That they did. As of the time we went, food was not yet on menu, but they were working on getting the proper permits to get food to their customers. Overall, this was a very cool spot that I can see myself coming back to. I definitely want to check out their coffee options as well. I will be back.

    Latino chicken sandwich
    Sara D.

    Great atmosphere and location. We met up with friends and were able to enjoy the outdoor patio; nice patio swings, outdoor space for the kids, and outdoor tvs to watch the Texans game. Food and drinks were great. We ordered the midnight zing (my favorite) and the wildfire (spicy). The food was delicious: plantain chips and chimichurri, empanadas, and Latino chicken sandwich The place was very relaxed and inviting, and we plan on going back

    My cocktail and my dog
    Cindy B.

    This place is rocking! Great place to pop in for coffee or a drink with my dog! Tonight I got a free drink from Chewy for bringing my dog. And she enjoyed a pup cup. I enjoyed the blueberry cocktail made by the charming bartender, Dulce. It's a solid spot for morning coffee as well. Outdoor heaters take off the chill and fans for the hot days.

    Inside seating
    Tracy N.

    Ultra hip chill vibe and a ton of parking. Got here early meeting someone and wanted to do bit of work before he showed up. The music has a chill funky kind of mellow modern jazz vibe; all acoustical no words. Super cute place and they have games you can play as well as 2 types of outdoor seating. Would also be a good place for a date night because you can hear yourself think and talk. The music is loud enough to groove by but not so loud it drones everything out. This place is its own vibe! Will have food on-site soon. Only drawback 2 private bathrooms so could be a long line when it's packed. The whole place is reserved inside tonight so maybe call ahead before you come just to make sure seating is available. Ton of seating outside and none of that is reserved but it looks like it's going to rain today and super hot so not the best bet. Now here's the best part... the drinks.. saved the best for last. The drink menu has some new fusion style fancy drinks that I've not had anywhere else and even the happy hour menu includes some interesting drinks. Staff are super nice and chill; are letting me and my friend order in food since it's closed tonight. Highly recommend checking this place out - it's going to become the "go-to" place soon for a lot of folks. I can see that coming ;)

    Iced caramel latte with cold foam

    Cute spot. Nice outdoor seating with tvs. The coffee was great, I ordered a latte. Service was friendly. Will be going back.

    Midnight Zing

    This place is great. We tried some savory food while sipping on some delicious hand crafted cocktails and watched the Texans game on their TV screens. It was a great time. I highly recommend Midnight Zing and Wildfire cocktails and the empanadas and Latino Chicken sandwich. You won't be disappointed This place is a 10/10.

I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

Midtown with their questionable parking makes me not want to go. Upon entering, the place is a nice, intimate setting, with a handful of seating areas along with bar and outside seating. Recommend bringing a light jacket as it was a bit cold. The menu had a variety of offerings, and noted that all drinks are $12. They are card only, so bring your card or tap to pay and also your ID. Because they are 3 feet from a school and are considered a private club, they comply with TABC regulations to ensure safety and efficiency in their business. From the variety of the drinks, I opted for my signature drink, an Old Fashioned, it definitely had a bite to it. I slowly sipped on it while I lounged in one of the seating areas. My sister tried the Starduster Ranch Water, and she didn't like it, I had a sip of it and it tasted like only way I can describe is like soap. Saw that they also have Mocktails and THC Beverages, I didn't try any of them. We headed out as we were trying to grab dinner and Starduster doesn't currently offer food. I did get to speak with Dylan again outside and he clued me in on a couple of things they are planning to do such as having food trucks and also open the upstairs for additional space. Overall, I know being new (had just opened last week) there are many things being worked on and do hope that things improve here and they add additional seating, it got busy for a bit and seating was standing only. Thankfully I was there early enough and got a nice cozy seating area. I removed a star because both my drink and my sister weren't really anything special, it tasted like they were premade and poured from a tap, I missed seeing each one be made. I did like that there aren't TV's inside, it helps maintain the personal interactions natural and focused. Outside they do have TV's which makes sense for bigger groups. Though the seating is limited inside, likely to maintain it as a cozy and intimate space, outside has a lot of seating AND they are PET FRIENDLY! In cold weather without heating lamps, don't think anyone would really sit out there. Once spring and summer arrive, it will be nice. On their menu they indicate "Weekly Specials" Spaghetti Western Sundays Monday Night Steak Night (not sure why it wasn't happening the day I was there, would've enjoyed some steak) Tarot Tuesdays Whiskey Wednesday
